The behaviors of fundamental particles at the atomic and sub-atomic levels governed by the laws of quantum physics are often mystifying. At these levels, particles can become strongly correlated and stay entangled even when they are separated far apart. Such extraordinary property not only entices our scientific minds to delve deeper into the discovery of new principles and phenomena in science, it also opens up an array of new opportunities to explore these phenomena to applied science and technology. Our aim is to advance the study of matters in the quantum realm of the atomic and sub-atomic length scales, in the fields of quantum science, AMO physics, and low-dimensional system.

Convolutional neural networks, inspired by biological visual cortex systems, are a powerful category of artificial neural networks that can extract the hierarchical features of raw data to provide greatly reduced parametric complexity and to enhance the accuracy of prediction. They are of great interest for machine learning tasks such as computer vision, speech recognition, playing board games and medical diagnosis. Optical neural networks offer the promise of dramatically accelerat...
